Eguma unhappy with media treatment

Dolphins manager, Stanley Eguma has denied that he refused to speak to the media shortly after his side’s 1-1 draw at home to Sunshine Stars on Matchday 4 of the Nigeria Professional Football League.

It was reported that the gaffer refused to speak to the press after the game because he was unhappy with the officiating in the game at the Port Harcourt Liberation Stadium.

“I was angry when I read reports that I did not speak to the press after the game. That was not true,” the former Gabros manager told supersport.com.

The gaffer explained that he stood at his “usual position” in the mixed zone waiting for the journalists present at the stadium to commence post-match interviews but claimed that he was ignored.

“I was at my usual position waiting to be interviewed but the journalists all ignored me and were instead speaking to the Sunshine Stars coach. What was I supposed to do? Wait there forever? Also, the atmosphere after the game was tense and I was advised by my aides to leave the pitch as the security presence was fast thinning out,” he added.

Dolphins have made an inauspicious start to the new season racking up four points from a possible 12.
